Virginie Sélavy

Virginie Sélavy is the founder and editor-at-large of Electric Sheep, the online magazine for transgressive cinema.

She has edited the collection of essays The End: An Electric Sheep Anthology (Strange Attractor Press) and has contributed to World Directory Cinema: Eastern Europe and the London volume of Film Locations: Cities of the Imagination. Her work has appeared in various publications, including the Guardian, Cineaste and Frieze. She hosts a monthly radio show on Resonance 104.4 FM and occasionally curates screenings.

The mad magpie of Canadian cinema went down the rabbit hole at London’s biggest screen with The Forbidden Room, a pulsating extravaganza of mock movie reclamation. Virginie Selavy reports on our LFF Experimenta gala, and his ensuing LFF Connects talk.

From crazy ladies and final girls to fables of confinement and madness and a resurgence of British grand guignol, this year’s London horror-film showcase had plenty to chew over – as Anton Bitel, Kim Newman and Virginie Selavy demonstrate.
